JUST A TASTE… of what is to come. Marilyn MacGruder Barnewall is currently recording the chapters of Americans: Wanta Be Free. So you’ll know what to expect, here’s a link to the Introduction from the book. A price for the complete audio set has yet to be determined (we aren’t yet sure how many DVDs will be required for the total recording, what the weight/cost of the mailing will be, cost/size of mailing container, etc.). Until then, this audio recording by Marilyn of the Introduction to Americans: Wanta Be Free will let you know what you can expect in the very near future. Enjoy!

Princess Paula, the woman who, with her family, managed one of the few (possibly the only) successful secession from the Commonwealth of Australia will be The Global News and Views guest on Thursday Nights With Marilyn on January 17th.

In 2007, Lee Emil Wanta became the Ambassador for the Principality of Snake Hill to the United Nations, the United States, the People’s Republic of China, Singapore, and Israel and in September of 2007 Wanta became the Central Bank Chairman for the Principality of Snake Hill. In August 2009, Snake Hill filed a case against the United States of America with the International Court of Justice on behalf of “our prominent citizen and Ambassador, Lee Wanta” asking for the immediate payment of Lee’s money as had already been agreed to by U.S. authorities.

As is featured in Chapter 13 of Americans: Wanta Be Free, many unkind words have been written about the Principality of Snake Hill by journalists like Christopher Story who are totally unschooled on the subject of sovereignty. Princess Paula will set the record about Snake Hill straight.

The Wanta Saga leads us into the uncharted territory of government corruption when this American hero was arrested and imprisoned for a non-existent unpaid, estimated civil tax scam in Wisconsin. Lee Wanta’s story involves other names with which we are familiar – like Vince Foster and Hillary Clinton and Marc Rich who was the last person former President Bill Clinton pardoned before leaving office.
The thing for which Ambassador Lee Wanta is best known is that of being the richest man in the world. Many have called him the $27.5 trillion man. I hope we’ll have time to explain how this one American patriot earned all of that money and how he intended – and still intends – to use it to benefit the people of the nation he so loves.

The key to America’s future is a grid criss-crossing the country. This project could bring this country back from the brink of DEPRESSION.

Where is it? Why isn’t it being built? Especially when it’s at no cost to taxpayers! We as Americans must wake-up and demand this project move ahead, for the good of us all.

This is the color map of Lee’s planned high-speed rail program. It was created by a friend of Marilyn’s in CA and isn’t a final draft but does give a good overview of the plan. Following are some of the articles she wrote about hsr and the transcript of one of the radio shows she did on the subject. Marilyn created a blog on this subject:

On October 31, 2012, Marilyn Barnewall received the following email from Ambassador Lee Emil Wanta. She could not send it to us immediately because the email addresses first had to be removed. Since she’s a little busy writing the Ambassador’s biography, it took her a day to get it to us for publication. When she received the Tom Heneghan Briefing this morning, she immediately stopped writing long enough to clear the emails and get this information to us.

People will not recognize most of the email names… they are members of the Austrian government. It appears to Marilyn that Ambassador Wanta is telling the American government he has had enough of their game playing with his money and that rather than accept the agreed upon $4.5 trillion by repatriating the funds to the United States. He warned them in 2008 that if the Americans did not want the $1.575 trillion in taxes he would pay on the $4.5 trillion that he would reclaim ownership of the entire $27.5 trillion and work with the Austrian government to retrieve the total amount of his funds from that country. It should be made clear that Wanta never gave up ownership of the entire $27.5 trillion, he only agreed to accept $4.5 trillion in settlement… and then Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson reneged on the deal and “kidnapped” the funds. It appears the Ambassador’s statement to European leaders about moving back to Austria where he has legal residency and working with the governments of Europe, particularly Austria, to gain possession of what is lawfully his may have stimulated the U.S. Supreme Court to take action on Wanta’s behalf… that’s the way the Tom Heneghan’s Intelligence Briefing this morning makes it appear, anyway.

Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who of American Women, Who’s Who in Finance and Business, and Who’s Who in the World

Marilyn MacGruder Barnewall was president of The MacGruder Agency, Inc., bank financial consulting and profit analysis, from 1979 through 1993. She is recognized as the “guru” of North American Private Banking (so-called by Town and Country and Trust and Estates magazines). In the July 9, 1989 issue of Forbes, Barnewall was hailed as “Dean of American Private Banking.”

Barnewall’s company (she is retired) specialized in market segmentation strategies designed to identify affluent and middle market customer niches. She started the first wealth creation private bank in America. She devised products and strategies to assist banks in marketing effectively to affluent and about- to-be-affluent clients that emerged into a capital source for new start-up businesses and new job growth. Strategies included loan quality, credit philosophies, loan policies, procedures, risk analysis and profitability analysis. For five years, Barnewall researched private banking profitability and published a survey each year. As a result of her work, she coined terms like “upscale,” “active investor,” “passive investor,” inter alia. Her research became known as the Active/Passive Energy Syndrome (APES) and included interviews with 5,000 of America’s self-made affluents.

Prior to establishing the Agency and in the early 1970s, Marilyn was employed by United Bank of Denver. She was United Bank’s (Denver’s largest) first female vice president to manage major deposit and loan portfolios. Prior to starting the first private bank in the U.S., she was also Customer Communications, New Product, and Marketing Manager.

Until 1992, Marilyn was a frequent speaker at a multitude of national and international conferences. In addition to numerous speeches made for the American Bankers Association, Bank Marketing Association, and state banking organizations, her speaking engagements include the Third National Canadian Retail Banking Conference (March 1988), the First National Retail Banking Conference in Sydney, Australia (November 1988), the International Private Banking Conferences in London (6/88) and Zurich (6/89), and in August 1991 she taught private banking in Singapore. For several years she taught private banking at Colorado University for the American Bankers Association.

Quoted in Time, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, and many other national journals and newspapers in the U.S. on issues dealing with banking and economics, she also served as U.S. editorial consultant for Private Banker International (Lafferty Publications, London/Dublin).

Marilyn has written several books about private banking. One, published by the American Bankers Association, sold for two years at $5,000 per copy ($3,250 per copy to ABA members). The book sold internationally through Lafferty Publications, London/Dublin, at 1300 British Pounds Sterling per copy. Another book was The Warren, Gorham & La Mont (New York) Private Banking 1987 Profit Survey ($2,000/copy). She has written extensively for The American Banker, Bank Marketing Magazine, Trust Management Update, and many national newspapers and magazines. In 2003, she began writing for online news publications World Net Daily, Canada Free Press, and News With Views, among others.

Marilyn received her graduate degree in Banking from the University of Colorado Graduate School of Business in 1978. She was named one of America’s top 100 businesswomen in the book, What It Takes (Dolphin/Doubleday; Gardenswartz and Roe) and was one of the founders of the Committee of 200, the official organization of America’s top 200 businesswomen.
